The Library of Congress (https://cocatalog.loc.gov/) has valuable information on the Lifetime run (nothing on The Family Channel or Pat Finn Pax runs, though I will give my thoughts on the episode count after this initial post). Here's what they have listed. It appears to be the airdates and (whenever possible) production codes:

All right, now for my thoughts:

1) It seems episodes were broadcast in taping order, though some of the dates of publications (presumably the airdates) were a little off. It also appears Seasons 2-4 production began towards the very end of 1991, 1992, and 1993 respectively (130 episodes for all three of them each, with Season 1 having just 65). And expect for Season 1, Seasons 2-4 had two sets each (Winter and Summer sets, if you will).

2) Not sure why the conflicting production codes early on.

3) Not sure why I didn't see a Date of Publication for September 2, 1991. Doesn't appear to be a Labor Day marathon of something on Lifetime.

4) (https://gameshows.fandom.com/wiki/User:Daniel_Benfield/Shop_%27Til_You_Drop_Video_Archive#Season_3) Ever since it was speculated that #3001-#3003 that GSN showed before dropping the show weren't the first tapings of Season 3, based on Pat's "it's a great new season" comment from another one, it really threw me off on what could have been the actual first tapings of said season. It appears I figured it out, though it's still a little confusing that January 4-5, 1993 were #9329-#9330, when they were already listed for the end of Season 2.

5) With all of this considered, it appears the final episode tally for the Lifetime run was 455. GSN only showed the second season of The Family Channel run and both Pat Finn Pax Seasons (and, presumably, the first three episodes of the second half of Season 3), and it is known that these three seasons respectively had 65, 80, and 100 episodes. That must mean season one of The Family Channel run had 100 episodes. It would make sense if this is true, since the first season of Shopping Spree, which premiered on the same day, had 100 episodes.

Some studio master information on some episodes (whoever sent me it has wished to have the name withheld). "R" likely means "RERUN", and some of the dates may be edit date, and not necessarily tape date.
